Scholarships mean a lot, not only to the recipients, but the donors. They don’t always get to meet, hear the success stories, or even have the venue to say that all important phrase, “Thank You.” That’s why for today’s Throwback Thursday #tbt, Curly remembers to thank the donors and the students for making a difference in each other’s lives. Ranging from all disciplines, subjects, and backgrounds, each story highlighted the true impact of not only the importance of giving back, but gave concrete examples of how the spirit of giving makes a difference in the world.

It was a pleasure to tell your stories at a reception dinner in McNamara Alumni Center, and to tell the inspirational stories that help keep philanthropy alive.
